Sure you can. Ask your host to install the cPanel instead of the DA. If DA is already installed on your server, then they must format your HD, reinstall a fresh copy of the OS, and then install the cPanel/WHM.

It's not recommended that you install it if you don't know what you're doing... plus you need a license for cpanel, and that's in your host's name, I assume.

Anyway, if you want to stay on the same box, you can ask your host to install another drive in the system, before installing cpanel, make a backup to that drive, then ask them to perform the install. Otherwise, just make an offsite backup.

IT WOULD BE EASIEST ... to setup a new box with CPanel, and just transfer your existing accounts on the old server to the new one..
